07/02/2012

Anritsu’s Service Assurance Division announced today that it will showcase a much expanded product range for the first time at the GSM Association’s Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona from 27th February – 1st March 2012.

In addition to several new products, the next generation of the market leading MasterClaw monitoring system will be launched and a free “Making your LTE investments profitable” brochure will be available.

Anritsu Service Assurance will be a part of the Anritsu Corporation Booth located at Hall 1 – 1B31.

Multi-network Assurance: Subscribers today move between LTE and legacy 2G/3G technologies seamlessly and frequently. Add femto cells and Wi-Fi to the mix, and things get even more challenging. Their handset selects the best radio technology based on signal strength, user preferences and service availability. Even within one technology, for example UMTS, several networks need to work in harmony to establish a service. The MasterClaw system now enables you to manage all your Voice, SMS and the increasingly demanding data services from Radio to Core, including IMS for fixed/mobile convergence, and management of Roaming Partners and Interconnect routes. With MasterClaw’s end to end coverage, never again will you need to know the cause of a problem before you start the troubleshooting process to fix it.

Enterprise Quality & Efficiency: A brand new suite of products addressing the needs of enterprise communication. Anritsu delivers maximum network utilisation and ensures the highest quality of service using advanced traffic shaping technology and active test. Provide your high value corporate customers with extra reassurance that their direct connections to the mobile network are providing maximum value. And don’t forget, every network operator is also an “enterprise” where investment in internal communications and call centres needs to provide maximum value.

Spectrum Clearance: Optimising your network will ensure you obtain the maximum capacity and quality from your available spectrum, but can you detect external sources of interference that are present in your frequency bands? The second new extension to the Anritsu Service Assurance product range is an effective and cost efficient solution to detect and locate external interferers. Remote radio spectrum analysers reporting back to a centralised report generation platform ensures maximum coverage at minimum operating expense.

Advanced Customer Experience Management: Anritsu offers a unique CEM solution that addresses marketing, customer care, fault resolution, network planning and many more functions all with a customer centric view. With Anritsu ACEM, you have real time access to key data on service usage and quality by age, sex, tariff, handset, location and many more dimensions. In addition, call centre agents have near instant access to clear information on a customer’s recent activity. Decision support for new services and infrastructure changes is provided with revenue projections. Prioritise scarce engineering resources to minimise revenue loss due to outages and service disruption with financial models built from real network traffic patterns.
